Ascend™ Surfactant Solutions

Ascend™ surfactant solutions provides a customizable, dual-component surfactant package which can travel further into the formation than conventional surfactants to access additional trapped hydrocarbon. Along with Multi-Chem’s advanced surfactant technology, Ascend surfactants incorporates a secondary component which is attracted and adsorbed to the rock surface first, often in the near wellbore region, thereby allowing the surfactant to continue traveling with the fracturing fluid into the fracture network where it is needed most.

Custom-tailored surfactant chemistry designed to optimize production from your specific reservoir source rock

A major operator was drilling unconventional wells in the Wolfcamp Shale play in Reagan County, Texas where hydraulic fracturing is required to enhance oil and gas recovery. Fracturing fluids utilized in hydraulic fracturing treatments often incorporate surfactant chemistry in order to lower surface tension and capillary pressure so that potentially trapped hydrocarbons can be more readily produced to surface.
